OMG I Almost Said "Erection Day" LOLZ

Today is Election Day in Canada. I've decided I'm going to be one of those people who votes for some crazy reason, irrespective of the issues.

Yes, I'm going to vote based on how few campaign signs crossed my path while driving my sister to school this morning.

If this sponsorship scandal business hadn't done it already, the landscape of red pollution along Fanshawe Park Rd alone would take Joe Fontana and the Liberals out of the running.

I saw plenty of blue, so Conservatives, you're out too.

Ironically enough, the Green Party of hippies is out as well.

And the winner is... NDP! Due to your strong stance towards conservation (of my eyes), and/or lack of money/supporters, you will get my vote. Whatever your local candidate's name is, congratulations!

In reality, if I bother voting at all (it'd be the first time), I'll probably vote NDP (Gina Barber is London West's candidate), just because they aren't the Liberals or Conservatives. The Liberals are apparently corrupt, and I'm just not a conservative person.

There's not really any issue-related reason. I'm for stuff like marijuana de-criminalization, gay marriage, and a woman's right to choose, but not so much that I really care one way or the other. I'm not about to personally light one up, marry a dude, or have an abortion any time soon. I'd be for anyone who'd do something about gas prices and car insurance rates, but those aren't major concerns, it seems.


In unrelated news, while watching yesterday's NFL playoff games, I discovered that Global TV really sucks with their promos.

"A controversial doctor who trusts no one. House: Tuesday at 9." Now imagine hearing it 30 times.

They managed to make an awesome episode of Gilmore Girls look like shit, and made what's probably a shitty show, Falcon Beach, look really hideous. I think one of the tag lines was the following:

"Hey, where's Jason?"

"Oh, he left."

............

The only respectable one was for 24, most likely a Fox promo with the Global announcer as a replacement, which kind of lost its punch after its 20th repeat.

At least promote to your audience. Most football fans aren't going to give a shit about Gilmore Girls, Falcon Beach, ET Canada and Skating with Celebrities. But I'm sure many would welcome the knowledge that season 5 of The Shield is on, and My Name Is Earl moved to Thursdays.

See what I care about? Health care? Education? Foreign aid? Bah! Make my commercials good!
